On the board draw a picture of a house, similar to below. Make sure you draw it as big as
possible to fill the board.
Elicit the words house, tree and sun. You can also teach/elicit "roof" and "chimney" as extra
vocab.
Next, hold up the cut out "bed" magazine picture and
elicit/teach the word. Ask one student to come up to the
board stick the picture in one of the rooms (make sure it is
the large, upstairs room). Do the same with the other 5
pictures, each time eliciting the word and getting a student
to stick on your house so that each room has a picture in it
(and one outside in the garden).
Now, elicit/teach the words for rooms of the house and garden: point at the bedroom and
ask "What room is this?". If no one knows, say, "Well, it has a bed and it is a room, so it's
a ..." and try and elicit "bedroom". Then write the word in the room and chorus 3 times.
Do a similar thing with the other places, e.g.

to say an object and everyone has to race to touch it on the poster. The first person to
touch it is the winner. Shout out a word (e.g. "shower!") and everyone rushes to touch that
picture. Then continue shouting out other words, as students race around the room
touching objects on the posters. This should be fast paced and fun.
5. Play "Touch the picture" in pairs
Now, pair up students. Student A will say an object from
any poster and Student B has to find and touch it. Sounds
easy? Well, give a time limit for the students to find and
touch the picture (e.g. 5 seconds - depending on the levels
of your students). For example:
Student A: Find a lamp! 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5 ... Time's up!
Student B: (runs around searching for a lamp picture to
touch)
6. Do the "Objects in my house" worksheet
Give out the worksheets. First, get students to write the words
for each room on their worksheets. Then get the students to use
the posters around the room to write words and draw pictures of
the objects they have in their home.
NOTE: If students don't have certain rooms in their homes (e.g. dining room, garden) have
them put in objects they have in other rooms that could go in those rooms.
When everyone has finished, put students into pairs. Teach the phase:
Do you have a/an (sofa)?
or
Have you got a/an (sofa)? (British English)
Then have pairs ask each other about what they have and don't have in their homes using
their worksheets as a guide.
7. Read classroom reader "Mr. Stretchs House"
Let's end with a fun story that practices the vocabulary in today's
lesson. Before class, download and print off the reader "Mr.
Stretchs House" from our website. As you go through each page,
point to the pictures and elicit the rooms, as well as other vocab
for the objects in the rooms, for example:
Teacher: (pointing at the picture on page 4) What room is this?
Students: The kitchen!
Teacher: Yes, that's right! What is Mr. Stretch getting?
Page 6 of 7
Students: A banana!
Teacher: Yes, good job! He's stretching his arm all the way into the kitchen to get a banana!
And where is he getting the banana from (pointing at the refrigerator)?
Students: A refrigerator!
Teacher: Yes, that's right! (Reading) "He is getting a banana from the fridge!". Do you have
a refrigerator in your kitchen, Kate?
Kate: Yes, I do!
Teacher: And do you have bananas in your refrigerator?
Kate: Um, no.
Teacher: Kate doesn't have bananas in her refrigerator. Does any here have bananas in their
refrigerator?
David: Yes, I do!
Teacher: Ah, David does! What other food is in your refrigerator?
David: Um. Ham and eggs and milk.
Teacher: Very good, David! Ok, everyone, what else is in Mr. Stretch's kitchen?
Students: A cooker!
etc.
Get the students really involved in the story by asking lots of questions about the what
objects they have in their homes.
Wrap Up:
1. Assign Homework: "Home Plan" worksheet (be sure to model this first by drawing a plan
of your home).
